Chapter 252: Tongji Entertainment is targeted by the Big Three
"Brother Bao, I still think Director Xu said that the script will be revised tomorrow, is it too fast?"
"Actually, I'm not busy. It doesn't matter how long I stay here."
In a double room in the hotel where the "Wushuang" crew stayed, Chen Jinyu said to Liu Baofeng with a worried look on his face.
Although Chen Jinyu said that he was worried that Xu Ji would be late in time, in fact, what he was worried about was that he was afraid that Xu Ji would make random changes to his script.
During this night, he obviously did not believe that Xu Ji could change his script for the better.
The greater possibility is that it will change beyond recognition.
Although it is a rare opportunity to find Xu Ji this time.
It can even be said that this is the closest he has come to his dream of directing.
But he has made up his mind. If Xu Ji's revised script is too bad, he will not accept it.
But at this time, Liu Baofeng showed no worried expression at all.
As long as Xu Ji agreed, it wouldn't be a problem for him to be able to continue the drama.
He has absolute trust in Xu Ji's ability.
"Director Chen, do you know "Soldier Assault"?"
After Chen Jinyu heard what the other party said, although he didn't understand why he asked this, he still nodded subconsciously.
It was because he watched this drama that he thought of inviting Liu Baofeng to participate.
Naturally, I am very aware of Xu Ji’s hugely influential military drama.
"It is said that when Director Xu wrote the script of "Soldier Assault", it only took him less than a week."
"After receiving invitations from the government and the military, I came up with the script within a week."
After Chen Jinyu heard this, he unconsciously said: "How is that possible?"
For a large-scale TV series like "Soldier Assault", the script is so big that Xu Ji wrote it in a week?
More importantly, Chen Jinyu watched the ending of this drama from the beginning, and watched it more than once.
He also knows the quality very well.
Although Liu Baofeng was younger than Chen Jinyu, at this time he was more like a big brother and walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Director Chen. Director Xu will modify the script for you, and the quality will definitely be better than the previous one."
"Also, one night may be a bit tight for other people, but it is not a problem at all for Director Xu."
......
Liu Baofeng's words actually didn't have much of a problem. After Xu Ji returned to his room at night, he spent just over two hours writing the script of the movie in his mind.
However, these two hours did make Xu Ji feel a little tired.
If it weren't for the fact that the filming of "Wushuang" happened to be in the final stage and he couldn't be separated, he wouldn't have planned to write the entire script in one go.
Xu Ji’s habit is to stop and stop writing, working slowly and carefully...well, it’s just laziness.
The next day, Chen Jinyu was waiting on the set early in the morning.
Liu Baofeng also followed.
But when I saw that Xu Ji had been filming, I didn’t bother him.
It wasn't until the lunch break that Chen Jinyu came over and asked about the script.
"It's already written."
"Here, take a look first. If you have any questions, we can discuss it in detail when we finish work in the evening."
After taking over the script from Xu Ji, Chen Jinyu stopped interrupting and went to the side with Liu Baofeng to quietly read the script.
The paper of the script is all new, and there is a smell of freshly printed ink.
"Director Chen, bring some here and let's take a look together."
Liu Baofeng said.
Turning to the first page, Chen Jinyu was a little surprised that Xu Ji had changed the original name of the movie this time.
""Hello, Mr. Tree"?"
"What's this name? It always feels weird."
With an uneasy feeling, Chen Jinyu carefully looked at the script, which was said to have been revised, but was completely changed beyond recognition.
Everything is different.
The original characters in my script are gone.
After reading a few pages, Chen Jinyu felt a little heavy.
Liu Baofeng didn't care about this and was completely immersed in this new script.
......
The script is not particularly long. Even if the two of them read it very carefully, it only took them more than an hour to read it.
But after reading the ending, they all unexpectedly fell silent.
After a long time, Chen Jinyu took the initiative and said:
"Director Xu is amazing!"
"This script is much better than mine."
Before Chen Jinyu read it, what he was most afraid of was that Xu Ji would make random changes and ruin his hard work.
But after reading it, he realized that his script had only given the other party an inspiration.
It is said to be a revision, but in fact the current script is a completely new story.
The most important thing is that although it was inspired by my own script.
But the story Xu Ji wrote is much better than his original one.
It can even be said that they are not on the same level at all.
Chen Jinyu remembered his previous thoughts at this time, and even worried for a moment that Xu Ji's company would plagiarize his ideas.
Now it seems that it is really ridiculous.
"Director Chen, what do you think?"
Liu Baofeng's eyes were already shining. After reading the script, his interest in the role of "Tree", the male protagonist in it, greatly increased.
If he can play this role, it would be okay to even let him play for free.
Of course, he knows that things are different now.
With the company's investment, my salary is unlikely to be zero.
It’s definitely even more than the previous salary of 200,000 yuan.
But for a film with some serious literary and artistic themes, high pay is not realistic.
Liu Baofeng doesn't care much about these things. The important thing now is that he is eager to win the role of the protagonist of this drama.
On the contrary, Chen Jinyu's opinion is not very important at this time.
After Liu Baofeng read the script, he knew very clearly that it was no longer the same script as the one the other party presented.
Even if Chen Jinyu doesn't have to be the director, with the current strength of Tongji Entertainment, it would be very easy to shoot it by yourself.
If he was asked to choose one of the two, Chen Jinyu's previous drama would not be very attractive.
......
Chen Jinyu is not stupid either. Liu Baofeng realized this and he also thought of it.
So at this time, he no longer hesitated and spoke directly to the other party:
"I will go find Director Xu after he finishes filming in the evening."
"I hope Director Xu can let me join Tongji Entertainment."
Chen Jinyu's words made Liu Baofeng smile.
No matter what, he still likes Chen Jinyu’s character.
If the other party can decisively agree, everyone is happy.
After all, he was the one who brought Chen Jinyu to see Xu Ji, so naturally he didn't want him to have a conflict with Xu Ji.
......
"It's a pleasure to work with you!"
Chen Jinyu's agreement was not surprising to Xu Ji.
After all, although the other party has some talent in directing, he is still a complete wild man after all.
Compared with the scripts he produced, Xu Ji's own script is undoubtedly superior in quality.
And he was the final director. If he wasn't really stupid, he would have known that agreeing was the best choice.
But Xu Ji actually doesn’t trust the other party’s current level.
It would be too difficult for a person like this who has no experience in filming or directing to really let go and let him get started.
So Xu Ji notified the crews of Pang Er and Yang Anran, and asked Chen Jinyu to join their crews to learn a little bit.
After the filming of the two dramas is completed, let the other party start the official project filming.
If we send a few more capable assistant directors to help later, at least there won't be any trouble.
Chen Jinyu didn’t have any objections to Xu Ji’s arrangements.
Today is already a very surprising day for him.
It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a turning point in life.
If nothing else happens, he won't have to go back to work as a truck driver in the future.
It’s a dream come true and I have officially entered the film industry.
......
After sending away Chen Jinyu and Liu Baofeng, "Wushuang" also completely ushered in the completion of the entire movie the next day.
Although Xu Ji did not deliberately speed up the shooting, it only took more than two and less than three months to shoot the entire movie.
On the day of filming, everyone on the crew was in a good mood.
This time there were no Pang Er and Yang Anran and there were some familiar old faces, but the news about Xu Ji's drinking problem still spread.
A bunch of people lined up to toast Xu Ji.
However, Xu Ji is now much thicker-skinned than before, and he is becoming more skillful at hiding alcohol.
"Director Xu, I respect you."
At the closing banquet, Wan Rongli walked up to Xu Ji and raised his cup with an argumentative expression.
It’s just that what’s in his cup right now is not wine, but a drink.
Wan Rongli has vowed to give up drinking completely, and he actually does what he says.
Youman successfully passed the test before, and basically didn't drink at all during the subsequent filming.
Xu Ji feels pretty good about this.
There is a history of drinking in Wan Vieng, but even if I drink a little now, nothing will happen.
But Xu Ji still prefers not to break the precept.
This is a good thing for the other party's second spring in his acting career.
"Your previous experience is actually not a bad thing."
"My acting skills are better now than before."
"Calm down and act well."
Xu Ji said in a come-over tone.
In fact, the other party is about ten years older than Xu Ji.
But Xu Ji, plus the life in his memory, is qualified to say such things.
At the beginning, he had seen many actors with good talents, but because of the temptations of various entertainment circles, they began to surrender, thus ruining his own future.
Xu Ji has always had the idea that actors should be more pure.
And the actors currently signed by Tongji Entertainment are doing quite well in this regard.
Xu Ji is one of the few bosses who is not worried about his company's artists falling over.
After all, people like Ji Yiyang and others do not like to participate in those so-called variety shows even though he does not have any restrictions.
My main focus is still on acting.
Wan Rongli nodded solemnly.
He didn't make any big promises.
It is enough to prove everything with actions.
His past experiences let him know how difficult it is for him to join Tongji Entertainment.
If Xu Ji hadn't accepted it, he would probably have said goodbye to his job as an actor completely, or even returned from being a star to the life of an ordinary person.
He had indeed made plans to return to his hometown to find a job.
It's just that he made his debut when he was less than 20 years old. Apart from acting, he really doesn't know what else he will do.
......
"I disagree!"
"There is absolutely no need for us to deliberately make enemies."
"Although Tongji Entertainment seems to be very popular during this period, their artists actually don't participate in variety shows very much."
"Even if I am acting, I mainly act in dramas produced by my own company."
"This has little impact on our smallpox at all."
"We cannot be dragged down by Phoenix Entertainment and deliberately target behaviors that are just looking for trouble."
Smallpox Entertainment, one of the three largest companies in the entertainment industry, was having a huge quarrel because of an invitation from Phoenix Entertainment.
"Although there is no threat to our smallpox resources now, who knows what Xu Wei's plans are in the future?"
"After all, the artists currently under Tongji Entertainment are all top-notch."
"Except for us and the other two, how many other companies can achieve such a lineup?"
"I even think that Xu Ji is just a means to confuse us."
"When they really get stronger, it will only be a matter of time before our smallpox resources are taken away."
"Go and ask around. Now basically all variety shows, evening shows, advertising endorsements, and even many big directors want to hire people from Tongji Entertainment, and they even offer ridiculously high prices for this."
"Isn't this enough to explain the problem?"
......
Liu Sanlang, one of the presidents sitting next to Wu Jialing, chairman of Tianhua Entertainment, said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Wu Jialing remained expressionless at this time, with no intention of speaking.
"I agree with what Mr. Liu just said."
"Tongji's threat to us is now visible to the naked eye."
"And the cooperation invitation sent by Phoenix Entertainment this time is very sincere. If we can annex Tongji Entertainment, or even subdue Xuji, it will definitely be a great good thing for us, Xiaopox!"
People who agreed to cooperate with Phoenix Entertainment spoke up.
The opposing party also has its own ideas:
"That sounds nice!"
"Are those two brothers from Phoenix Entertainment so kind?"
"It's true that we have defeated Tongji. We can choose the people under our banner, but we are just trying to spread the pie."
"We agreed, but we stood up for Phoenix Entertainment, and it will be us who will be hated by Xu Jiji."
......
"I think you are just timid? Are you really that afraid of Xu Yi?"
——"What did you say?!
”
......
"Quiet!"
"Stop arguing!"
Wu Jialing's timely words stopped the chaotic high-level meeting.
"But for the specific plans and actions, we, Xiaopox, have to keep it secret. On the surface, we still let Phoenix Entertainment take the lead."
Wu Jialing also thought clearly at this time.
If Tongji Entertainment really shows signs of being overthrown by the two Li brothers, they can actually invite Xu Ji to join their company.
Come and try it soon.]
If Tongji Entertainment is stronger than imagined, then they will no longer show up, and even help Tongji out of trouble, etc., and they can gain Xuji's favor.
